Hey Everyone! I am 24 years old and have lived in northwest Montana almost my entire life except for a few stints in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

 I just graduated from Montana State University in May and moved back to my parents’ house and took my old summer job waitressing at a marina were i was asked about 5 times a day what I was going to do next. Missions and serving overseas has always been on my heart and I knew that now was my chance. This is by far the craziest, scariest, most exciting thing I have ever done and I know that this next year will be a huge change in my life but I feel that this is something that I was created for.

For those of you who don't know me, here are 15 random facts about me. 

1. I am a fifth generation Montanan. My ancestors have lived here since the civil war. 

2. My favorite movies are 3:10 to Yuma and Slumdog Millionaire

3. Taylor Swift is my pet peeve. That and sharing my drinks. (Bring your own water bottles people!)

4. The Killer Angels is my favorite book. I am a history nerd.
